In the research, we developed a device for cooling the drive section of the gripper of a robot for handling the high temperature material. In this study, By using a Peltier element, the high-temperature material is not affected and driving cylinder is cooled to prevent damage due to high temperatures. Hot part of the Peltier element is towards the robot gripper. Cool part of the Peltier element is towards the driving cylinder. The heat sink portion is made to keep the cooling effect. As the performance result, cooling-test is taken, and their result is satisfy.

In this paper, a heat pump using a Peltier device was developed for heat dissipation in a sealed electric box. The heat pump was designed with a cooling fin attached to both sides of the Peltier device, and a fan was mounted on the cooling fin on the hot side to increase the efficiency. The heat dissipation efficiency could be improved by directly connecting the electronic component having high heat to the cooling fin using a heat conducting wire. The fabricated heat pump was designed to operate only in the temperature range set by the temperature control system to improve the problem of high power consumption of the Peltier element.

The thermoelectric Seebeck and Peltier effects of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) quantum dot nanodevice are investigated, taking into consideration a certain value of applied tensile strain and induced ac-field with frequency in the terahertz (THz) range. This device is modeled as a SWCNT quantum dot connected to metallic leads. These two metallic leads operate as a source and a drain. In this three-terminal device, the conducting substance is the gate electrode. Another metallic gate is used to govern the electrostatics and the switching of the carbon nanotube channel. The substances at the carbon nanotube quantum dot/metal contact are controlled by the back gate. Results show that both the Seebeck and Peltier coefficients have random oscillation as a function of gate voltage in the Coulomb blockade regime for all types of SWCNT quantum dots. Also, the values of both the Seebeck and Peltier coefficients are enhanced, mainly due to the induced tensile strain. Results show that the three types of SWCNT quantum dot are good thermoelectric nanodevices for energy harvesting (Seebeck effect) and good coolers for nanoelectronic devices (Peltier effect).

This study is experimentally performed for using the oyster shell as a desiccant in the batch type system. The peltier element(thermoelectric device) is used for absorbing and releasing the adsorption and desorption heat generation. The cooling and heating effects of peltier element exist in this experiment and these effects are generally known phenomena among some references. The increase in electric current induced into peltier element is effectively release the heat generation of adsorption and desorption. Consequently, the non-dimensional adsorption and desorption amount would increase with increase in electric current. However, in the case of adsorption, the increase of induced current into peltier element, the heat of cold side can not release sufficiently. So the heat of hot side of peltier is transferred into the cold side.

This paper reports on a prototype cooling garment applying a cooling module. The cooling module was composed of a Peltier device, a cold sink, a heat sink and two fans. A constant box was used to evaluate the cooling effect of the module. Two cooling modules were attached on each side of the garment. The wear trial was conducted using 10 male subjects in an environmental chamber maintained at $30{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}5%$RH. Subjective sensations of thermal, humidity, and comfort were surveyed. Statistical package SPSS12.0 was used for the t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that most effective cooling module decreased the temperature of the constant temperature box by $-4.9^{\circ}C$. The micro-temperature of the cooling garment with a Peltier device was lower than the control garment during the exercise. In particular, the chest skin temperature was $1.5^{\circ}C$ lower with the cooling garment than the control. The maximum temperature difference was $-2.57^{\circ}C$ on the sides of the $1^{st}$ layer. Subjective thermal sensation from wear trials of the Peltier device attached garment was lower than the control garment. Subjects felt more comfortable with the cooling garment in almost all the periods.

Recently, as smart phone technology is developing, wearable devices is also accelerating. But, the wearable device is necessary to operated for a long time with a small electric power because werable device is made compact. In this paper, we design and implement efficient lithium polymer battery model suitable to miniaturized wearable device in oder to maximize ease of use. The proposed model is characterized by a compact size of the battery by applying a thermal element and a light-weight battery. Also, proposed model gives greatly improve the life of wearable devices because it uses a method using the characteristics of the Peltier device using the temperature difference between the room temperature and body temperature of a person to generate power for charging. In particular, the proposed model can be used for the wearable device, as well as auxiliary charging of the smart phone.

This study is to experimentally evaluate the cooling performance of the Bonding type and Injection type of heat sink using three different kinds of industrial Peltier module by digital LabViewTM measurement. Injection type of heat sink could be more efficient for the heat transfer than Bonding type, even with 30% more radiating surface area. In addition, the experimental results revealed that the sufficient power supplied was able to show the better cooling performance of Peltier module. In order to verify the optimal cooling performance of the cooling device, two Peltier module, HMN 6040 and HMN 1550 with Bonding and Injection type of heat sink were used. The cooling performance with injection type of heat sink was 2.11% and 6.24% better than that with bonding type of heat sink under the HMN 6040 and HMN 1550, respectively.

This paper presents the construction of micro tool clamping device using a Ni-Ti shape memory alloy(SMA) ring. Clamping force of the device is produced by elastic force of the SMA reverted to its original shape in normal temperature. Phase transformation of the SMA was realized by temperature control using a peltier element. Prototype of the SMA tool clamping device was fabricated and examined its clamping force and clamping/unclamping operation.

A double-heterostructure mesa-stripe-geometry laser diode integrated with thermoelectric Peltier cooler has been designed and fabricated. Epi-layers have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) method. Peltier cooling effect has been measured for devices with a mesa width of 14$\mu$m and a cavity length of 380$\mu$m. The effects of thermoelectric cooling could be shown by measuring the optical output of the laser with the increase of the current in the thermoelectric cooler. While the input courrent of the laser was maintained at 250mA, the optical output was decreased from 4.8mW to 3.8mW due to heating, but with the thermoelectric cooler on the optical output power was recovered by more than 40%. The results show that the complicated cooling device is not needed since the cooling can be achevied by the developement of the fabrication processing.

The injection molding process has high accuracy and good reproducibility that are essential for mass production at low cost. Conventional molding processes typically use the water-based mold heating and air cooling methods. However, in the nano injection molding processes, this semi-active mold temperature control results in the several defects such as air-flow mark, non-fill, sticking and tearing, etc. In order to actively control temperature of the molds and effectively improve the quality of the molded products, the novel nano injection molding system, which uses active heating and cooling method, has been introduced. By using the Peltier devices, the temperature of locally adiabatic molds can be controlled dramatically and the quality of the molded patterns can be improved.
